Ted Habermann edited this page Nov 19, 2015 · 1 revision

The MetaDataBase (mdb) Namespace defines the minimal mandatory concepts for ISO 19115-1 metadata records. It includes all mandatory elements for a resource that is not a service. The root element is mdb:MD_Metadata. There are four mandatory elements:

  1. /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:contact

  2. /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:dateInfo

  3. /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:identificationInfo/mri:MD_DataIdentification/mri:citation and

  4. /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:identificationInfo/mri:MD_DataIdentification/mri:abstract

The schema for the mdb namespace and other information is at http://standards.iso.org/iso/19115/-3/mdb/1.0.

A sample file for mdb is at http://standards.iso.org/iso/19115/-3/mdb/1.0/mdb.xml.
